The
Supply
Sergeant
em
p
h
a
tically
and
convincingly
explained
to
me
all
the
trouble
I
had
caused
and
suggested
that,
after
all,
I
m
ight
just
as
well
have
the
tag
and
tape
charged
against
my
pay
roll.
All

Discouraged
and
resigned
I
consented
to
this
action

prom
p

“By

I
asked,
suddenly
being
struck
w

a
Calam

inspira­

“How
much
is
all
th
is
going
to
set

Visions
of
fees
and
court
costs
and
all
these
things
clashed
before
my
eyes.
The
Supply

suspiciously
looked
up
at
me,
reached
for

searched

then
announced:
